I may not even be there when it happens. More likely a 404 or such. I will sigh, smile, give thanks for all those who came and for those who built tools to keep the memories. Then head over to Twitter , frenf.it, wherever you all are :)
- Pete's Got To Go

I'll feel a bit empty for a while, but then I'll remember all the amazing people I have known via FF. Like Haro, I'll squeeze my husband. I've already taken steps to set myself up on frenf.it, join the FF rooms on FB, etc. I will definitely miss this place, but my hope is that I'll type in "F" on the browser, go to frenf.it, and find you all there. :)

feel sad and alone. go for a walk. tell Twitter I miss FriendFeed, so the message is in the world, somewhere. then delete shortcuts and feel glad it lasted as long as it did.

I really like Meg's idea. It would make an interesting tattoo, a great conversation starter, something people would ask the meaning of, and then we can spread the Legend of FF.

I didnt really want to add everyone i know on friendfeed to my facebook, i like to keep them seperate as much as i can. but you know what, fuck it http://www.facebook.com/simon... add a note saying you;re from friendfeed if you add me, then i can group everyone up :)
- Simon Wicks

Well, with this news it is pushing me to start using my real name for web services and to kill (or at least slowly stop using) the tomit persona that I have used for many years. Find me here... http://www.facebook.com/ronaldb...

I do not use it much LOL I just post to it from other sites so to fill up my friends stream, I do get messages and some status in text. Anyone who really wants to add me, use the facebook link on my profile. :o)
- David Gross

www.facebook.com/drodzand you won't see much since I got the privacy settings on max in Facebook. Just another reason why I think Facebook is completely different from friendfeed. I hope they keep friendfeed running because I use both services in diametrically diverse ways.

Thanks Rob, I had forgotten my username for I always used my email address to login - I found there is a settings > username > change thing that lets you change your username once and then you get a facebook.com/username url!

And frankly, I like adding friends with whom I have a low compatibility. It helps me hear music I never would have found in the first place. I never would have listened to a lot of my favorite music if someone hadn't said, "just try it."
- Ciaoenrico

Heh, "Music you have in common includes ABBA and Depeche Mode"...
- Tyson Key

Your musical compatibility with koltregaskes is Very Low. Music you have in common includes Sneaker Pimps, Hybrid, Snake River Conspiracy, VAST and The Boxer Rebellion. (that's because I listen to a lot of obscure stuff) http://www.last.fm/user/app103
- April Russo (FForever!)

http://www.last.fm/listen... BTW, I send my Blip.FM feed to Last.FM. I fell asleep several times while listening to Blip, so there's some music in there that I don't necessarily like. But, for the most part, it's mine.
- Michael Fidler

If I played my 'best of the best' playlist one day would anyone be interested? It's 45 songs and iTunes tells me it's 4 hours. I can post a FF message when I start and finish and you can check the tunes out.

Welp. Ya'll have been friended and oddly enough I only had 4 with high compatibility. Lucky for me that means there is a lot more music our there that I need to be turned on to. Thanks, Kol! :-)

Dear FriendFeed community, We wanted to let you know that FriendFeed will be shutting down soon. We've been maintaining the service since we joined Facebook five years ago, but the number of people using FriendFeed has been steadily declining and the community is now just a fraction of what it once was. Given this, we've decided that it's time to...

start winding things down. Beginning today, we will no longer accept new signups. You will be able to view your posts, messages, and photos until April 9th. On April 9th, we'll be shutting down FriendFeed and it will no longer be available. We want to thank you all for being such a terrific and enthusiastic community. We're proud of what we built so many years ago, and we recognize that it would have never been possible without your support. - The FriendFeed team
- Benjamin Golub

Thank you for all you've done to keep it up and running as long as it has been. FF has been my secret place to rant and whine, an online 'family' of friends, and mostly troll free. You guys rock, I'll miss this place!
- Shannon - GlassMistress

.mau. I have tools that can do it rapidly. I'm working on some stuff myself, but I'm going to see if I can get in touch with the guys on the team, and at FB. Also see if my employer will give me a day or so.
- OCoG of FF, Jimminy

@NOT THE CRICKET: if you manage to do something, I'd be really grateful. I always liked friendfeed and I had so many interesting discussions there that I don't want to lose them. Last week I made a backup, but of course I hit the 10K limit... I am logorrhoic.
- .mau.

Good By ALL This has been great fun and more a place to share some good and bad as I've sorted out my life. Thanx for being you and being here. I'm still @warlordwrites on Twitter Give me a holler
- WarLord

Give me a backup tool, along with the ability to backup my older (deleted) accounts (I know they still exist on the server, just can't be seen) I'll be more than duaci to you. - His Evil Highness Arkancelo Hazretleri - Arkancelo

Dear Benji, the least you could do is to post the source code for other people to rerun friendfeed or alternatives...

C'mon aniki fb bought this fuckin website only for its source code to apply it on fb and have its license did u rlly think that they will open it?

can someone please hack facebook so that they take back this decision - viav +
- Charlo††e Flax

I don't think the source code that is used in fb is ¨same¨ what fb bought in 2009... do you remember what do they bought it for? for likes and comment script implementation. they have done it and no one knows ¨like¨ with ff name... everyone knows it with fb. I don't think they will give a simple f*** about the source code. But if I was in their shoes, I wouldn't share it. I am just trying my luck out here.

Thanks for the great platform! It is a shame to see it go :( Of course, the decline is also because people are afraid of advertising it too much, because you stopped development, which is normally a good indication that a service will go down. Effectively, you asked for the decline. This is not so much meant as a complaint, because even in the past years, it served very well as a demonstration of what a social platform should look like.

- umco

wiz we discuss it currently but there is no real answer for this question. There are different suggestions but none of them give us the feeling, that they also secure (privacy+security) and good enough as friendfeed. Friendfeed was so good isolated and so forgotten, no one else but us care what we write here. FF is really only place, that I write my ideas without care and fear.
- selimok

I wouldn't, not really. I might have someone take a look at the part of my nose that is crooked from when I didn't know I'd broken it as a kid. Not because I don't like how it looks, but because the more closed-off side is a bit harder to breathe through, which is really noticeable when I've got a cold. I wouldn't do anything if it were going to look dramatically different.
- Jennifer Dittrich

No. I would miss my original face too much. I've spent 40 years with it! I kind of want to see where it goes with itself for the next 40 years. :)
- Hookuh Tinypants

If I were rich, I'd get a trainer and I'd like to think I would probably get fit which would get rid of the double chin etc. In that sense, yeah, I would alter my face. Otherwise, no.

Depends on the ground. And yeah, depends on the candy. When I was a kid, we didn't have the five second rule. Instead, we crossed ourselves (it was a Catholic country). All of us kids knew it was safe to eat dropped food if you crossed yourself. :-)

Depends on how you define "concert". Does this include the local band who plays in a bar? A show at a county fair that you see with fair admission, but you don't really care about the band? Where you pay to actually see the band?
- Joe

My choice, Simple MInds, '85. Got in my first accident on the way home in the wee hours. As a kid, the parents took us to many country, bluegrass, rockabilly shows. I don't recall the first, but I saw Willie and Johnny and June a few times back then.

"Cook later brought back a tattooed South Sea islander known as Omai, who was paraded before King George. Many of Cook's crew returned with tattoos, and this sparked the tradition for European sailors, as well as the lower and criminal classes, to get them. In the early 19th century, it was estimated that 90% of Royal Navy sailors had a tattoo. A turtle signified that the sailor had crossed the equator, an anchor the Atlantic, a dragon that he had gone east."

"This led the wine drinker to consider a dizzying variety of factors in making his choice. For example, if you were eating fish, a cold and moist food, it would be best to have a ‘hot’ wine. However, it was not recommended that young people drink ‘hot’ wine – as Baldassarre Pisanelli explains “it adds fire to fire on top of weak wood.” Meanwhile, if it was wintertime, it might be better to drink a ‘hot’ wine instead of a ‘cold’ one to compensate for the loss of body heat."

Because I couldn't make a meeting this morning, I've just emailed my colleagues a very hastily put-together summary of the data and findings I was going to share. I feel like a little girl playing grown ups or something. Anyone else still feel like a kid pretending to do adult things?

I feel that way right this minute as I try to figure out how to update the outline for this class I'm teaching tomorrow night. Why did you have to change paper topics, instructor? Don't you know you're supposed to be lazy and use the same topic year after year after year? Grrrr.
- bentley

It's like imposter syndrome: If you never feel it, you probably are one. If you always feel that you're fully grown up, you're probably not even close. (Hell, I'm only 68; I might grow up some day, but why rush it?)

I don't, but that's because I'd usually rather add that sort of umami flavor in a different way - fish sauce, soy sauce, mushrooms, etc.
